Status: COMPLETE ✅


🎯 What Was Enhanced

1. TaskModuleChain Component

Location: web/typescript/valkyr_labs_com/src/components/WorkflowStudio/TaskModuleChain.tsx

Drag Handles (MUSHROOM STYLE)

/* Before: 32px width */
/* After: 48px minimum width */
.module-drag-handle {
width: 48px;
min-width: 48px;
font-size: 18px;
}

✅ 1.5x larger for easy iPad/mobile grabbing ✅ Enhanced visual feedback on hover

Action Buttons (iOS TOUCH TARGETS)

/* Before: 36×36px */
/* After: 44×44px minimum (iOS standard) */
.module-action-btn {
width: 44px;
height: 44px;
min-width: 44px;
min-height: 44px;
border-radius: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 600;
}

✅ Meets Apple's 44×44px touch target minimum ✅ Better visibility with 16px icons + bold font ✅ Enhanced borders for clarity


2. LooperNode Component

Location: web/typescript/valkyr_labs_com/src/components/WorkflowStudio/nodes/LooperNode.tsx

Connection Handles (GIANT MUSHROOM PORTS)

/* After: 24×24px handles + 28×28px loop-body */
.react-flow__handle {
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
box-shadow: 0 0 16px var(--accent-color, #f59e0b);
}

.react-flow__handle:hover {
transform: scale(1.4);
box-shadow: 0 0 20px var(--accent-color, #f59e0b),
0 0 12px rgba(245, 158, 11, 0.6);
}
